Advice from an Angel: Life, Love, Art and the Cosmos According to Joe

Advice from an Angel: Life, Love, Art and the Cosmos According to Joe

Lin Lacy

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
He's a young, low-ranking, art-loving member of the angelic hierarchy, and his name is Joe. In 1998 I "met" him while experimenting with using my less-dominant hand to write answers to the big questions I had about my life. Soon my left hand was channeling this loving, helpful, funny, sometimes painfully honest spirit as he explained his role (and mine) in the cosmic plan, offered daily support, and helped me to come into my own as an artist. In the wide-ranging angelic observations that fill Advice from an Angel, Joe helps me - and all of us - do what's needed for a fulfilled and joyous life. This is an "angel book" with a big difference: Joe isn't an awe-inspiring spirit with an ancient pedigree - he's a regular-guy angel with a certain amount of self-doubt (and some envy of the human condition) whose wisdom is refreshingly down-to-earth.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the creator and star of Hamilton and In the Heights, with beautiful illustrations by Jonny Sun, comes a book of affirmations to inspire readers at the beginning and end of each day. "When the world is bringing you down, Gmorning, Gnight will remind you that you are awesome."--Booklist Good morning. Do NOT get stuck in the comments section of life today. Make, do, create the things. Let others tussle it out. Vamos Before he inspired the world with Hamilton and was catapulted to international fame, Lin-Manuel Miranda was inspiring his Twitter followers with words of encouragement at the beginning and end of each day. He wrote these original sayings, aphorisms, and poetry for himself as much as for others. But as Miranda's audience grew, these messages took on a life on their own. Now Miranda has gathered the best of his daily greetings into a beautiful collection illustrated by acclaimed artist (and fellow Twitter favorite) Jonny Sun. Full of comfort and motivation, Gmorning, Gnight is a touchstone for anyone who needs a quick lift.

A Treatise of Heat and Energy

A Treatise of Heat and Energy

Lin-Shu Wang

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
sidottu
This textbook explains the meaning of heat and work and the definition of energy and energy systems. It describes the constructive role of entropy growth and makes the case that energy matters, but entropy growth matters more. Readers will learn that heat can be transferred, produced, and extracted, and that the understanding of generalized heat extraction will revolutionize the design of future buildings as thermal systems for managing low grade heat and greatly contribute to enhanced efficiency of tomorrow’s energy systems and energy ecosystems. Professor Wang presents a coherent theory-structure of thermodynamics and clarifies the meaning of heat and the definition of energy in a manner that is both scientifically rigorous and engaging, and explains contemporary understanding of engineering thermodynamics in continuum of its historical evolution. The textbook reinforces students’ grasp of concepts with end-of-chapter problems and provides a historical background of pioneering work by Black, Laplace, Carnot, Joule, Thomson, Clausius, Maxwell, Planck, Gibbs, Poincare and Prigogine.Developed primarily as a core text for graduate students in engineering programs, and as reference for professional engineers, this book maximizes readers’ understanding and shines a light on new horizons for our energy future.

Venture Capital and the Corporate Governance of Chinese Listed Companies

Venture Capital and the Corporate Governance of Chinese Listed Companies

Lin Zhang

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2024
sidottu
During the last ten years, China has made remarkable progress in the development of its venture capital market; however, Chinese domestic venture capital has been marginalized by American competitors. Using American venture capital as a mirror, this book empirically demonstrates that Chinese domestic venture capital lacks the four factors related to the success of their American counterparts: large and independent funding, application of incentive mechanisms, efficient exit channels, and a high-risk tolerance level. More importantly, the author shows how these defects are closely linked to the corporate governance of state-controlled listed companies. Featuring updated data and new developments since the publication of the first edition in 2012, with a focus on corporate social responsibility and the stakeholder-oriented model in Chinese small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this new edition demonstrates the negative economic and social impact of corporate governance of Chinese state-controlled listed companies and identifies potential policy reforms to harmonize agency costs and adaptive efficiency. This book is great for researchers, scholars, students, and policymakers interested in corporate governance of Chinese venture capital markets.

Self-regulated Learning and Second Language Writing

Self-regulated Learning and Second Language Writing

Lin Sophie Teng

Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2022
sidottu
This monograph is to investigate practical applications and contributions of self-regulated learning (SRL) to second/foreign language (L2) writing from sociocognitive and sociocultural perspectives. It showcases a comprehensive and updated review of conceptual and methodological issues of SRL and the state-of-the-art research on its applications to L2 learning and teaching. This volume further elaborates the design and results of a large-scale project which conducts observational and intervention studies investigating SRL strategies in L2 writing. This book reveals that a cross-disciplinary understanding of SRL strategies plays a crucial role in advancing theoretical functions of SRL and in extending its applications to L2 education in general, and L2 writing in particular. This book makes significant contributions to developing and validating new conceptual frameworks and tools for evaluating multidimensional structures of SRLstrategies and self-efficacy in L2 writing; elucidating the interplay of personal, behavioral, environmental and psychological factors with SRL strategies and writing performance; and presenting an effective self-regulation instructional model for nurturing L2 learners’ motivation and confidence to strategize, reflect and succeed in writing.Teng has established herself as one of the prominent scholars in the discussion of self-regulated learning strategies. Her contribution to the fields of L2 writing and strategic learning are undeniable. This monograph is an excellent showing of how her ?endeavors to bring established theories from educational psychology to applied writing research have progressed over a number of methodologically rigorous studies. It should be required reading for anyone with an interest in cultivating strategic writers not only in the Chinese context but worldwide. Nathan Thomas, UCL Institute of Education

Low Complexity MIMO Receivers

Low Complexity MIMO Receivers

Lin Bai; Jinho Choi; Quan Yu

Springer International Publishing AG
2014
sidottu
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems can increase the spectral efficiency in wireless communications. However, the interference becomes the major drawback that leads to high computational complexity at both transmitter and receiver. In particular, the complexity of MIMO receivers can be prohibitively high. As an efficient mathematical tool to devise low complexity approaches that mitigate the interference in MIMO systems, lattice reduction (LR) has been widely studied and employed over the last decade. The co-authors of this book are world's leading experts on MIMO receivers, and here they share the key findings of their research over years. They detail a range of key techniques for receiver design as multiple transmitted and received signals are available. The authors first introduce the principle of signal detection and the LR in mathematical aspects. They then move on to discuss the use of LR in low complexity MIMO receiver design with respect to different aspects, including uncoded MIMO detection, MIMO iterative receivers, receivers in multiuser scenarios, and multicell MIMO systems.
